Something else...

My roommate (M) made a comment, a month or so ago, when I called myself a food snob. He said that his brother, very much a food snob, would disagree, on account of the fact that I don't know the first thing about wine.

A couple of days ago, this girl (L) I was trying to impress by telling her what kind of meal I was planning on cooking, and then comparing this meal with her current boyfriend's culinary range of turkey sandwiches, said: "Very imporant question. What kind of wine are you serving? Without the right wine, I might as well be eating a turkey sandwich...."

Last night I met a new friend (K). I knew where she worked, but she pointed out that she worked in the wine section of a certain store. And that, yes, if I wanted to be educated about food, I really needed to know something about wine.

So, K and I went to BN (that's Barnes and Noble for the uneducated) and I picked up a book that L had recommneded to me (at least, I THINK it's a book that she recommended; I might have misunderstood, but I don't think so).

So, I am ashamed to say, I have entered the world of true food snobbery, with the purchase of The Sommelier's Guide to Wine. May God have mercy on my soul.

Be brave little soldier.
Soon you will be a wine snob too.
